Chapter 396 Bridge
Because they were well prepared, Xiehe's training group quickly got into the mood, like ordinary training doctors, studying cases, doing surgeries, and listening to Yang Ping's lectures.
Song Yun, in particular, was paranoid to the point of being afraid of missing technical details. He had to write down every word Yang Ping said and every step of the operation without blinking an eye.
The current diseases in comprehensive orthopedics involve every subspecialty of orthopedics. They are all difficult and high-risk, and most of them are not willing to be accepted by others.
Corey's surgery was not a particularly difficult one, such as twist ball folding spinal deformity, which required Yang Ping to perform the surgery himself. For other ordinary surgeries, Song Zimo was completely competent.
Xu Zhiliang is also making rapid progress, but compared with Song Zimo, there is still a big gap. He is catching up and hopes to be able to stand alone like Song Zimo.
Being independent in comprehensive orthopedics is completely different from other departments. Talents who are unique here will be the backbone of the department wherever they are placed.
In order to give colleagues at Union Medical College more opportunities to observe and learn, Yang Ping performed more surgeries during this period.
Dean Xia and Director Han are discussing upgrading the Department of Comprehensive Orthopedics to Comprehensive Surgery, and setting up a surgical institute to provide support.
This practice has never happened in major hospitals across the country.
However, some small hospitals, township hospitals and county-level hospitals, when the sub-specialties are not very developed, are divided into internal and external departments of women, children and facial features. One surgery dominates the world, regardless of whether it is brain surgery, thoracic surgery, general surgery, or orthopedics, it is all one surgery, starting from the beginning. All surgeries on the feet are done by doctors.
However, the surgeries performed by these grassroots hospitals are limited, usually simple surgeries, and slightly more difficult surgeries can be transferred to higher-level hospitals, so it is not difficult to master the surgeries.
When it comes to tertiary teaching hospitals, especially the top hospitals in the country, specialization is required, and specialties are naturally formed. The larger the hospital, the more detailed the specialties.
Nowadays, many people oppose the establishment of a general surgery department in a hospital like Sanbo, thinking it is nondescript and a joke. How can any surgeon from a top-level teaching hospital perform general surgery?
Regardless of all that, President Xia repeatedly analyzed medical and health laws, regulations and policy documents, and believed that there is no obstacle to the establishment of a comprehensive surgery in theory. The key is that the establishment of this surgery must be meaningful.
For a talented person like Yang Ping, he must be given an independent large platform, and even a hospital within a hospital should be established in the future to allow him to give full play to his talents, so as to retain this special talent.
At the meeting, Dean Xia overcame all opinions and decided on this matter. He planned to allocate all eight floors of the Comprehensive Orthopedics building to Yang Ping for comprehensive surgery.
The original orthopedic laboratory was moved out and moved to the medical technology building. A special laboratory was set up in the general surgery building for Yang Ping.
Yang Ping promised Dean Xia that the scientific research fund would not require a penny from the hospital or the country, and he would raise it himself.
However, Dean Xia needs to establish a legal procedure for accepting donated funds so that the laboratory can be qualified to accept donations.
Because the hospital has a complicated procedure for accepting donations, Director Xia needs to clear up the process administratively.
A few years ago, Director Xia felt that he was unable to build Sanbo into a first-class hospital in the country.
But now, the ambition that was felt when the hospital was built is starting to burn again. Based on comprehensive surgery, we will bring Sanbo to the top in the country.
Dean Xia is very ambitious and feels as energetic as he did when he was young.
Yang Ping was also very busy. In addition to performing surgeries and giving lectures, he also had many flying knife surgeries and was invited by the hospital, Malaysia, and Robert.
The newly appointed Director Chen of the Municipal People's Hospital also came here several times, hoping to cooperate with Yang Ping to help rebuild the Orthopedics Department of the Municipal People's Hospital.
The Municipal People's Hospital is in shambles. It has lost too many talents over the years. There is not a penny in its books. It is all foreign debts, owed to banks and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Dean Chen was so worried that he decided to give the Municipal People's Hospital a new look step by step, starting from the Department of Orthopedics.
Seeing Dean Chen's sincerity, Yang Ping decided to help Dean Chen rebuild the orthopedics department free of charge.
Yang Ping had carefully studied several of Robert's cases, and they were not too difficult.
It’s just that Robert’s study time at Sanbo was too short and he has not yet mastered the essence of this kind of surgery.
He performs multi-ligament reconstruction of ordinary people's knees and is competent. If a professional athlete undergoes surgery to restore his athletic ability, Robert's level will not be reached for the time being.
Yang Ping couldn't help but smile when he saw Bao Junhao's name in the case. This man was arrogant, domineering and arrogant. He had just stepped into the United States and started to blame others before he left the country.
Now I have gone round and round, and after all the trouble, I have to ask myself for surgery. The world is still too small.
The operation needs to be done, but the Bao family must apologize from mother and son. How can he be allowed to do whatever he wants?
Yang Ping left these matters to Xiao Wu to handle. He decided to go to the United States. It would be best if he could take a few people out and let everyone see the world.
——
After several exchanges of emails, it was finally decided that Yang Ping would come to the United States to fly knives.
For Robert, this is a big thing, which means that he will build a bridge of communication with Yang Ping. Once the bridge was successfully built, he could quickly learn Yang Ping's multi-ligament reconstruction of shoulder and knee joints and even more difficult surgeries.
Robert took the time to apply for a temporary surgical license for Yang Ping. The application for such licenses in the United States is very strict, but for Robert, it was not a problem.
The teacher was invited to the United States for the first time, and Robert had to carefully arrange the reception.
Five surgeries were performed, all of which were arranged at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. Although our clinic has advanced equipment, it was the first time we invited a teacher to perform surgery, which only the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York could match.
The welcome ceremony must be in Chinese style, and his repeated communication with the hospital administration must be in Chinese style.
Robert looked at the banner template on his desk and was very satisfied: "Welcome Dr. Yang Ping to come and guide the surgery."
"This company specializes in Chinese wedding planning and is very well-known in Chinatown, New York. They say this is the most Chinese way to welcome people. If you agree, just write according to this template. The author is an old gentleman. There are many Spring Festivals in Chinatown. All the decorative calligraphy and painting were done by his own hands. "Barrell is very confident in his ability to do things.
"It's great. Have you told them? Use a brush-like pen, red cloth, black characters, and a big brush pen." Robert was very satisfied with Barrell's performance. The lady from the administrative department before was really good at it. Oops, I told her for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out.
"As I said, it's an ancient pen with a bunch of hair." Barrel opened the event planning booklet and pointed it to Robert.
"Yes, that's it." Robert looked at the photos in the album.
"The cheerleaders who are welcoming that day will wear cheongsam, and a cheongsam flash mob will be held. But will the event be held at the airport or at the entrance of the hospital?" Barrell asked Robert to decide.
"At the entrance of the hospital, are the cheerleaders confirmed?" Robert was concerned about the details.
Barrel nodded: "As you asked, in order to show sincerity, we will use our own people, including all the secretaries and ladies from the orthopedics department, as well as nurses, to form a welcome group."
"Very good. You are really my most capable assistant, Barrel. Do you know? I have been to China and seen their ceremony to welcome important people. It is like this, a long strip of cloth with a welcome message written on it. Young The young men and women were holding flowers and standing on both sides, shouting welcome. You have found the right planner this time.”
Robert was pacing up and down the room in excitement.
"We need to create a Chinese atmosphere, Barel. After the operation, Dr. Yang is going to visit our clinic. The clinic must hang red Chinese knots, and the door must have the word "Fu" posted on it."
Robert became more and more excited, but Barrel seemed to feel something was wrong: "That is a decoration only used during the Chinese Spring Festival."
"The atmosphere should be arranged according to the Spring Festival. The teacher will definitely like it."
“The hotel and the chef have all been booked in advance——”
"What else? What else? Let me think about it." Robert rubbed his hands and danced.
Unable to think of anything for the moment, Robert opened the equipment box again. This was a complete set of equipment designed by Yang Ping.
"What's the use of this soft drill?" Barrel couldn't understand the purpose of these instruments.
For this soft drill, the connecting rod of the drill bit is spring-loaded and can change direction.
"Dr. Yang should perform curved segmental drilling." Robert understood the mystery.
Barrel didn't understand the significance of segmented drilling of curves, so Robert walked over to his desk and drew it on paper for him.
"The femoral condyle is drilled out of the knee joint, and the back part of the condyle comes out below the epiphyseal line, then follows the arc, crosses the epiphyseal line, and then drills from above the epiphyseal line through the lower part of the femur. The two tunnels are disconnected at the epiphyseal plane. If you draw extension lines, they are on an arc.”
Barrel finally understood why Robert regarded this Chinese as his teacher.
This geniusly conceived surgical method solves the problem of reconstructing the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments in children. It is much more advanced than the current bone surface suspension surgery.
"However, using soft drills to perform curved drilling requires very strong control over the direction of the drill bit. Isn't it difficult to achieve this?" Barrell found a problem.
Robert put away the equipment: "Don't worry, our obstacles are the way to Dr. Yang."
"Also, the teacher wants to send two nurses to communicate. You must discuss with the nursing department and make arrangements. Tell them that they are sent by my respected teacher."
Robert told Barrell that at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, clinicians, especially attending doctors, have absolute authority, and the administrative department is just a server.
Robert must build this bridge. If Dr. Yang is satisfied, their communication will be smooth.
Dr. Yang's surgery is a gold mine of medical skills, and Robert has seen it with his own eyes.
